## Importing the network design in Network Manager Telecom

### Purpose

Once you have calculated your Comsof network design in the workspace, have verified and validated it, you can import it into Network Manager Telecom as the final operation in the Workspace dialog.

During this operation the CDIF output generated during the calculation of the design is mapped onto Network Manager Telecom network objects. The operation is executed locally and this not require interaction with the Comsof Cloud server.

### Executing the operation

To import the network design:

1. Select the workspace via the Search bar or by clicking its polygon on the map.

   The Workspace panel opens in the Details tab sheet.

2. Click Open at the bottom of the panel.

   The Workspace dialog opens.

3. Tick the Import check box.

4. Click Run at the bottom of the dialog.

   The operation is executed and progress is shown at the bottom of the dialog.

   If the operation successfully completed:

   - The progress bar turns green with a little check mark on the right of it.

   - The Last operation label at the top of the dialog displays "`import`".

   - A green check mark also appears next to the name of the operation along with a hyperlink to the Log data.

   - On the map the network objects are displayed. if the .

   If issues were detected:

   - A warning icon () appears in front of the Show Log link.

   - A red dot appears in the Warnings and Errors section.

     If you open the section, you can find the detailed information about the issues. The Log data also contains information about issues that may have occurred.

### Iterative operation

In line with the iterative nature of network design, where you can adjust calculated results and recalculate in order to obtain optimal result, you can import the network design multiple times. With every new import operation, the data is renewed.

### Visualization of the features on the map

Once the Import operation has completed successfully, the newly generated network objects become visible on the map. As these are now Network Manager Telecom objects, they are visible through the Network Manager Telecom "native" layers. Make sure that these layers are activated.
